Annotation	Comparing recent developments in Germany and the US, the author argues that changes in both societies are encouraging increased flexibility in the organisation of the life course. How work organisations, educational institutions and government policies respond will affect whether, and to what extent, age integration may be beneficial to individuals. This is one of a series of eleven essays originally presented at sessions on age integration at both the International Sociological Association meeting in Montreal and the American Sociological Association meeting in San Francisco in 1998, and also adapted from a working paper issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) in May 1999.
